Tackling one of England’s most breathtaking coastal walks this 17-mile (21 km) hike takes us along the dramatic chalk cliffs of the **Seven Sisters**, offering spectacular views of the English Channel. Join us for a challenging circular hike starting in Eastbourne, we’ll head through rolling hills towards Friston Forest. Emerging from the trees, breathtaking views of the iconic chalk cliffs unfold as we tackle the dramatic coastal path, with its exhilarating highs & lows. Along the way, we’ll pass Cuckmere Haven and its winding estuary—perfect for a picnic break. When we reach **Eastbourne**, you can join us as we enjoy a chippy tea on the beach (or a dip in the sea for the brave!).

We'll be following the cliff edge, on easy terrain (you will need trail shoes/hiking boots for grip as three are some loose sections. The perfect hike for those looking for some hill training or just looking to burn a little extra energy!
